Parties don't matter

November 13, 2004|By Dimitrios Tianis.

Chicago — I don't remember hearing one single thing about how many Democrats or Republicans died on Sept. 11, 2001. I don't think the terrorists spend much time making sure their car bombs target conservatives or liberals.

I don't think terrorists hold their fire because they can't get a clean shot on the right- or left-winger.

In general I don't think the world cares about what political party you identify with.

Just as if John Kerry had won, I hope and pray that George W. Bush will do America proud and make us a stronger, better nation. Debating issues, questioning authority and making sure there are checks and balances in our government is a must. Actively rooting against the leader of the country that you live in, however, is like hoping your children grow up to be failures--there is really no good that can come of it as they are both the keys to our future.
